The national bestselling author of “Wound Up” in Murder spins a deadly yarn of knitting bees, butterflies, and beauty queens.

Every October, thousands of monarch butterflies flock to California’s Monterey Peninsula to spend the winter there. To welcome their colorful guests, Cadbury by the Sea holds a weeklong festival complete with a butterfly queen and her court.

Eager to show some town spirit, Casey Feldstein finds herself fluttering back and forth between setting up a yarn retreat, baking and helping out at the festival. But when a former butterfly queen is found dead with a knife in her back after a Bless the Butterflies service, Casey must set her loom aside to hook a killer with a score to settle.

Includes knitting patterns and a recipe!

Review books currently being read by GWN:

I’m an avid reader! I’m currently receiving review books from Berkley Prime Crime and Kensington, but I welcome books from most publishers. I only ask that you email me first (Netera@aol.com) to see if I’d be interested in reading what is being published. Reading women’s fiction, mysteries and thrillers from the big press, small press and self-published as well.

Hmmm so I am the Hungry Reader. The one who reads. The one who is constantly reading or wanting to read constantly. This blog is all about the books I have read, the ones that I am reading and gems that I plan to read in the future or whenever it arrives.
